What to Know

Critics Consensus

Ethan Green makes for an annoying protagonist, the jokes aren't funny, and everyone is as flat as the paper the comic is printed on.

The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green can't be accused of false advertising. This adaptation of the underground comic strip is mostly unfabulous. Go to Full Review Marrit Ingman Austin Chronicle Aug 6, 2006
